Yikes. As much as I'm all for energy-efficient machines, this one would stomp all our fun right into the ground! Interesting, though. Wonder what will ever come of it?
I saw a film back in junior high (around 1972) in which clothes washers and dishwashers of the future (the year 2000, which ironically, is now the past...) would not use water, but rather ultrasonic sound waves to clean.
"Hi, Bill. What's that attractive cake of yellowishness under your arm?"
"Oh, hi, Bob. That's the deoderant buildup from using my new AirWasher. You don't even need detergent, you know. And, I save money on deoderant by just letting it build up."
I get those yucky underarms now, thanks to my environmentally-friendly and "efficient" front loader. It might as well be washing with air, based on the results I've gotten! Bring back the water hogs please!
I can see the "Waterless" washing machine for good wool suits mens/ladies and then a three or four times a year dry-cleaning, (assuming a suit is worn every day to work).
But for undies and t-shirts?
uh, no.
Where do they think the body oils are going to go?
